| GUEST, DaveH | Songs about the Great War (WWI) (96* d) | RE: Songs about the Great War | 02 May 05 |
Two immediately spring to mind..... Robb Johnson's "Gentle Men" song cycle (or whatever you'ld call it) about his grandfathers; both survived Ypres, first performed unforgettably at Passchendael Kirk for the 1997 Peace Concert. Also Maggie Holland's "Number 4071, Private Bennett", about a soldier in the Hampshires shot for "desertion" and buried in the Poperinghe New Cemetery. Both on Irregular Records. | |||
